Description of the Invention (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a test device and method for semiconductor memory devices, and more particularly to semiconductor dynamic random access memory (DRAM ) And static random access memory (SRAM) and embedded device (Embeded Devices) (such as System on Chip and Graphic with DRAM) wafer test devices and methods. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION D RAM and S RAM memory chips must be tested several times to ensure their quality, and they must undergo aging tests after packaging to meet reliability requirements. In general, wafer screening tests can screen out defects that occur during wafer manufacturing. If there are redundant circuits on the wafer, the second wafer screening test is used to screen out the repaired ones. Defective. After the packaging process, the pre-aging test (p r e b u r η-i η), which is an open / short test, is used to screen out defective packages, such as short circuits or leakage currents, which will reduce the lack of aging effects. Then follow-up burn-in test (ρ 0 stb U r η _ in is used to screen out the bad products of burn-in test and / or test speed at high temperature. Finally, test again after another packaging process (such as stamping) to ensure normal temperature Reliability under operation. Therefore, the finished product of a DRA M or SRA M must be tested at a rate of about 4 to 5 "^ and lasts-4 rabbits and 7 free of aging test time to ensure its quality and reliability. Today's high density The test time of the memory (such as 6 4/2 5 6 M bites) is longer than the previous memory (such as 1/4/16 Mbites) and 60-80% of the good strains have been repaired. Used probes Due to the limitation of the probe head layout 52044. DOC \ HVC -4- The standard of this paper is applicable to China National Standards (CNS · M4Λ 2 / 2i0 / 297mm) (Please read first.

Description of the invention (2) ^ Due to the limitation of manufacturing and expensive wafer probe system, generally only M print can be tested at the same time. In addition, because the conventional probe head is long, there will be poor impedance matching ( Ask and subtract 'so code test high-speed products cannot be tested at high temperatures Therefore, conventional cracking can only test the speed to screen out defective products during subsequent burn-in tests. Furthermore, the conventional burn-in test technology uses packaged finished products for testing4. Therefore, a large number of expensive burn-in test systems and expensive Burn-in test socket and burn-in test board. In addition, the packaged product must be unloaded from the tube to the burn-in test board and the burn-in test board and reloaded into the tube. In the package / test procedure for a, after burn-in test About 1% _ 3% of the finished products are repairable. However, because these finished products have been sealed for several times, they are repaired by law, so the overall production cost is increased. Brief description of the invention Knowing the shortcomings of the art, the present invention discloses an innovative wafer probe card and its adapter board to perform wafer-level tests and wafer burn-in tests, thereby reducing the number of burn-in tests and loading / unloading procedures.
